Yeah after 4 years with my current firm, I along with 75% of the work force have been 'let go' the company is going under, huge overspending on machines and not enough work coming in is the bottom line, therefore I am going to have to sell some of my most prized Fett related items, check the cargo hold for some great deals

Had a similar thing happen to me just over two years ago. It was devastating but thankfully I have been able to move on. You will too, I promise! Until then, keep your chin up and know that we are thinking about you!

Thanks again, what a great community this really is, yes I'm in the UK and my trade is a CNC Programmer/setter/operator been in engineering since I left college 10 years ago! Its a very up and down industry and quite ironic as only a few months ago our company looked to be expanding in a big way

so to hear that mate. as a fellow CNC machinist and programmer, I know how tough it can get. the Aerospace industry is always up and down here in the States too. we go for months without seeing any work sometimes.

i wish you the best of luck my friend and hope you find something soon.
